AuthorTopic: Wifi just stoped (Read 4159 times)

I don’t remember what 7.0 I'm running but its one of the newer releases. As of yesterday my internal wifi just shut down and is not comming back. I'M working with a Toshiba Satellite A665 with a Intel core i3. There is no switch to turn it off but there is a hot key and that does not seem to do anything. I also went into Wicd and manually switched between wlan0 and wlan1 to see if that would do it, but no good. Any ideas will be great. I thought I finaly got away from using the usb wifi.

If the internal card is causing problems, you may just want to remove it. Should be in a mini-pci slot under a cover, with two wires snapped on to it. After removal, put some electrical tape on those wires to prevent electron re-routing.

But I want the internal card to work again. It took 4 upgrades to 7.0 to get it to work and now it just turns off. I haven’t used the netgear usb in 3 months. Plus when it wasn’t working I thought of changing the card to one that will but its not under a panel. I looked for instructions on the location of the card but no luck.

Ok just fixed it. I ran rfkill event and started pressing buttons and it worked. FN/F8 does nothing but just because I felt like it I ran my finger across the top strip next to my power button and to my suprise there buttons. I just thought they were light that didnt work cause I wasn't using windows. Oh well the simmple things.
